Otherwise known as the watsons_woes July 2011 challenge master post. 31 regular prompts, all on time, plus 10 amnesties, all on time and all connected into one larger story.

That should be a clean sweep, I think.

Now I'm going to go die for a bit and not write anything for... ooh, at least a day. And I will go back through the comm and read all the entries I didn't read because I was too busy writing the damned things.

Of all my fics, I most like And Afterwards Remember/The Claws That Catch for writing quality. I enjoyed writing Left Shoe for Luck and Dashing Hopes for Our Deliverance most. And Lucky starred in With the Queen. This month has seen martians, cows, the Great War, The Second World War, Moriarty several times, tap-dancing Mycrofts, flu, pneumonia, broken legs, allergies, fire, bereavement, revenge, poetry, insanity, drugs, civil ceremonies, shouting, lots and lots of angst, and tea. Sherlock has died twice, John once, and we've been around Reichenbach four times.

Summary: A little while after Sherlock and John die a new entry appears on John’s blog.

I feel slightly guilty for asking to use it while I was responsible for feeding her and thereby coercing a little, but nevertheless she let me have her image. If you’ve not read this fic don’t stay here reading this, go there and read that one from the beginning, and get tissues before you start.

Summary: Fleeing Moriarty, Sherlock has dragged John across Europe. John awakes alone.AN: And that’s the month! *thud* Every day, every deadline except the first day LJ went down when it was written in time. My brain hurts... I am going to do a single story from the amnesty prompts, or at least I’m going to have a damn good go, but I’m going camping tomorrow so nothing will get posted until at least Saturday and that’s assuming there isn’t a bloody great Hound on Dartmoor waiting for us...

I should say I feel terribly guilty about not having done lots of reading this month - I had little energy for reading and writing and focused on the latter. When I'm back from my holiday I intend to bury myself in promptfic for at least another month!

Summary: John follows Sherlock leaping tall buildings in a single bound, and regrets it.AN: Slight departure in the actual quote but it has the spirit of it.

Summary: Companion to And Afterwards Remember. John’s head is a big, loud, terrible place to be.AN: This is not really like anything I’ve written before (and it’s in the present tense, which is me breaking my rules) but John was begging for a companion piece to the 27th prompt, and I’m not one to deny him. This is probably not the end of this little ‘verse.

Summary: Storms in the Forest of Dean hit close to home for John.AN: Written in a great big rush as I have a houseguest coming in a couple of hours and a very messy house. For the record there are odd reports from the last few years of white deer killed in the Forest havign the heads removed as trophies, it’s not just my sick mind.
